I’m off to Germany for the next week, so I most likely won’t be able to do a timely Fernando Torres day if he, in fact, does join Liverpool from Athletico Madrid as is being reported. So, if in the next week Torres does sign I leave you with this video. If he [...]

Henry to Barca?
Posted in Arsenal on 22 Jun 2007 | Leave a Comment »
ESPN Soccernet has the headline “Henry Signs For Barca.” Meanwhile, the Beeb merely says that the Arsenal striker and Barcelona are in talks. The figure they are reporting as a transfer fee is £16m, which makes Charlton’s valuation of Darren Bent (£17m) seem even more ridiculous. The Daily Mail is also reporting [...]
Confused? You won’t be after…nope, still confused.

I don’t understand this commercial. The reasoning behind it is that David Beckham supposedly, “wanted to teach an old dog new tricks.” However, this leads one to believe that he knew that it was Scooby all along in the knight suit, an act gravely out of character for the [...]
Rio Ferdinand and His Bag Full of Tricks

We all know Rio as that delightful defender who holds steady the back line of Manchester United and England. He loves Jaffa Cakes, has an uncanny resembelence to Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks, and controls the airwaves in the southend of Old Trafford. His idol: Ashton Kutcher. Unbeknownst to [...]
A Hypothetical Exercise: What if the Premier League Were American?
Posted in America, Fuck Yeah! on 15 Jun 2007 | 1 Comment »
After reading an excellent article on today’s Guardian SportBlog about how most English football fans are ignorant, xenophobic, jerk-offs (that’s American for wanker), I tried to look at things from their perspective. The biggest fear seems to be the Americanization of the game, or to use an example, the turning of the Premier [...]
Argentine Muppets

Bambino Pons day continues here at the WWFU Headquarters with this Coca-Cola commerical from Argentina. The Pons lends his voice to the commerical, although it cuts off before he starts singing. There’s something not quite right about those muppets, though.
Oh, and I think pretty soon we’re going to need [...]
The Great Bambino
Posted in Musicology on 14 Jun 2007 | 2 Comments »
My life is now complete. Occasionally, while scouring YouTube for Spanish Primera highlights, which they never show in America, my ears would be blessed by the voice of an angel, albeit a slightly off key one. Today I found out that angel has a name, and it is “Bambino” [...]
Who is Steven Baker?

Interweb prankster? German guitar guru? Motorcycle Hall of Famer? Aussie-rules football star? Wenger’s newest fancy? or Last seasons most unrecognized premiership player? Upon close scrutiny of the official Premiership website, Arsenal has been hiding an extra [...]
I Wonder What My Name Means in Portuguese
Posted in Whores on 6 Jun 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I saw this little tidbit in the Guardian today and felt that I would be remiss if I did not post it here. It seems as if Franco Foda, pictured above, has one of the most vulgar names in football history. I’ll allow Abendzeitung München sports editor Florian Kinast to tell the story:
“I [...]
Treaty of Stettin Broken
Posted in Uncategorized on 4 Jun 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Not since the dissolution of the Kalmar Union has there been such hostility between Denmark and Sweden. The end of the Euro 2008 qualifier between the two nations was marred by Christian Poulsen, who incidentally was the player spat upon by Francesco Totti in Euro 2004, going batshit crazy and a Danish supporter attacking [...]
